FARMER'S WIFE ALMOSTAWRECK

Restored to Health by Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound — Her Own Story.

Westwood, Md.—“I am a farmer’s ■wife and do most of my own work when

1 am able. I had nervous spells, fe-

male weakness and terrible bearing down pains every month. I also suffered much with my right side. The pain started in my back and extended around my right side, and the doctor told me it was organic inflam-

mation. I was sick every three weeks and had to stay in bed from two to four

days.

“It is with great pleasure I tell you what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I have followed your directions as near as possible, and feel much better than I have felt for years. When I wrote you before I was almost a wreck. You can publish this letter if you like. It may help to strengthen the faith of some poor suffering woman. ”—Mrs. John F. Richards, Westwood, Maryland. Women who suffer from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to restore their health.

If you Imve the slightest doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound will help you, write to Lydia K.PinkhuinMedicineC’n. (confidential) Lynn, Mass., for adt ice. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman, and bold in strict confidence.

THR V SB Fit ASKS NEW LAWS.

I‘iifn:tni County Man Savs Bights to Roads Are Needed.

Flqual rights for thrashers on the public roads, the privilege of running machines over city streets and alleys when necessary, and laws that would enable machine owners to hold a lien on grain until thrashing services are paid, were recommended by L. G. Wright county superintendent of Putnam county, in his address at the convention of the Indiana Brotherhood of Thrashermen. which elosed its meeting at the old Board of Trade Building yesterday afternoon. W. E. MrCreery of Indianapolis was elected president of the association. The other officers are W. H. Newsome, F'llzabethtown, vice president; L. S. Moler, Greenrastlc, secretary-treas-urer; Joseph A. Gardner, member of

The Boy’s Club basketball team which played the Roachdale Flagles at Roachdale Friday night was defeated by the score of 52 to 12. The game was played In a deserted blacksmith shop which was possibly onethird as large as the ordinary basket mall floor and had ceilings so low that it was impossible for any one not skilled in the art of making billiards off the rafters to hit the basket. The floor was covered with about two Inches of saw dust and horse shoes instead of the regulation rubber soled slippers would have been a great advantage. From the start the Eagles had the better of the game. The Greencastle boys slipped and floundered around and were absolutely unable to get started In scoring. Time and again what was a safe shot at the basket was spoiled by the low ceiling. The unique refereeing of the, play made rough work an assential and In this the lighter team was outclassed. Leer came back into the game with a vengeance and was easily the star for the Boy’s Club. The Roachdale rooters dubbed him “Little Jim” and spent most of their energy in yelling for him. He was easily the fastest man on the floor and ran circles around a man twice' his size whom he was guarding. Schmitt, the other guard, found the bail most of the time when it came in his direc-

tion.

Through the whole game team work work was out of the question. It was a rough and tumble fight from start to finish. The Roachdale team put up a good steady game, all of them playing consistent basketball and earned their victory. Payne got the jump of the Greencastle center almost every time, and with Rusie, starred for the Eagles. A return game to be played here will be made for some night early in February. The Greencastle boys will be on their own floor then where conditions are not so unfavorable and will be strengthened by Tillotson, who was unable to aecompanv them Friday night. They feel sure that in spite of Friday night’s defeat, they ran win then. A curtain raiser of two smaller teams was played between a Roaehdaie team and one from Or D enoastle. When the time keeper called the end of the first half the referee misunderstood him and allowed the play to continue thirteen minutes after the half was ended. When time was finally called it was decided to end the came then. The score was 15 to 4 in favor of Roarhilale. Sillery Hanneman, Welch. Mize, Couchman and G. Schmitt played on the team. After the game was over and while they were waiting for the train the boys decided to do one job well at last and swept out the waiting room of the depot with a couple of brooms that were handy. The line-up for the larger team was as follows: fireenrastle. Ronrhdale. Hardy, rapt. ..forward Payne McFatridge ... forward Rusie Athey center ... Wendling Schmitt guard Evans Leer guard Stewart Referee: Harshbarger. Umpire; Hulverson. Baskets from field—Leer 1. Handy 2, McFatridge 1. Payne 11. Wendling 4. Rusie 7. Free throws— Leer 3, Handy 1, Payne 2, Rusie 4. Twenty minute halves.

The average weight of the incoming packages was 2 pounds and 8 ounces while the average for the outgom' was 2 pounds. By comparing the statistics of the fifteen days with those of the first week, which are as follows, the increase in the business can be seen: Number of packages received hero for delivery sn Number sent from here, which includes those sent out on Greencastle rural routes 122 Receipts $8.23 Oriitles by Parcels Post. A basket of lunch and a meat saw are the latest odities received by parcels post in the local postoffice. This morning a total of nearly two hundred packages were received here by the new' system. In one package the end of a long meat saw was visible. Another package, the end of which was bursted out, showed an assortment of sandwiches and other eatables. Both packages were for Greencastle people. The parcels post is being now well patronized by local people who find it a great convenience. Another pecul'ar package, a carton of eggs, was mailed at the office Thursday.

Another Step for the C'haufanqnn. The executive committee named to make preparations for holding a Chautauqua hero next summer met in the office of County Superintendent L. G. Wright, the president, Wednesday night, and furthered the plan:for the event. Two committees, one to canvass the business and professional men and the other to interview the members of the women’s clubs of the city in view of ascertaining how' many t'ekets can be sold, were appointed. At the beginning of the meeting Judge James P. Hughes

was elected secretary.

The committee Wednesday night, confident that sufficient tickets can be sold to insure the holding of a Chautauqua, took un the matter of location. Bence’s" grove, Sunset hill, the grove south nf the residence of H. C. Van Arsdel, and the lot owned by the school board and which was purchased for a site for a new high | school building all were spoken of. The last mentioned, however seemed the most suitable. It was the census of opinion tha* a central location

Competitive Examination to Re 1?e!.l nt the State Normal School in Terre Haute. Saturday. January 25— Congressman Afoss Gives DelrPs in Letter of Explanation.

The following letter to the Herald from Congressman Ralph W. Moss is self-explanatory: Washington, D. 0. Jan 15. 1913. Editor The Daily Herald: There will be a competitive examination held in Terre Haute at the State Normal building, Saturday. January 25th, beginning at 9 o’clock a. m„ to determine the cadetship to the Naval Academy at Annapolis This examination will be open, on my part, to nnv boy between the aces of 17 and 20 years, and who is a bona fidn resident of the Fifth Congressional District and the highest average will control the award. If two grades are the same general average, the highest grade in mathematics will control the recommendation. No boy will be eligible, who, in the opinion of the professor conducting the examination, can not meet the physical requirements necessary to gain entrance into the Academy. All matters pertaining to the examination and grading of papers will be under the control of the faculty of the State Normal, and the grades ns certified will be accepted in making the recommendation. This examination is called in connection with a like contost authorized by SenUor Kern, which is open to applicants from the entire state. If any applicant in the Fifth District shall win the highest grade and thus become eligible to appointment by Senator Kern. I will appoint the applicant frm the district who shall make the second highest grade. In this instance, two appointments would be made from the Fifth District. Very truly yours, RALLPH W. MOSS

Record ttf Parcel Pest for Two Weeks Postmaster Lockridge has completed his report of the parcel post business of the local postoffice for the first fifteen days of this month. The report shows that $41.37 was paid into the office for parcel post stamps. The expense Incurred by the new svstem was considerably less, being $12.20. This was for the hire of an additional employe, whose duty was to deliver the packages. The extra man was not employed until the beginning of the second week, however. In addition to the $12.20, there was extra time for the clerks and the cost of the stamps, which was not included in the report. The parcel post was much be'ter patronized the second week than during the first week, many more packages being received here and sen* than at first. Postmaster Lockridge said this afternoon that from his Investigation It is evident that the mail order houses are not sending many articles by the new system. The report shows that during the fifteen days 363 parcels were received here from other towns and cities T n addition to these 80 were mailed at the local office for City delivery -howlng that the local merchants nr” using the system to a certain extent

Hogs Fattened

for lie Per Pound

W R. Lighton, the wellknown writer, who is a practical farmer in Arkansas, put fat hogs on the market at a cost from birth to marketing of one and three-fourths cents a pound live weight The land on which this can oe done can be bought at $15 to $25 an acre. The great fattening feed is Spanish peanuts. At the Arkansas Experiment Station hogs pastured on ripe peanuts made a gain of 1,252 pounds from each acre, while Other hogs made a gain of 43d pounds per acre of corn.
